One Step Backwards in the world of NOW!

The world we live in begs a multitude of questions which swirl around us in a constant stream. The majority of us ignore the questions, perhaps brushing up against the stream when we watch television or read the newspaper. Having been on holidays for over three weeks (it’s been that long already??) I’ve realised some things that, while probably not universal truths, do play an integral role in a lot of our lives.

We live in what is fast becoming the digital era. Everyone wants everything now. We eat more and more fast food because we don’t take the time to make proper meals. Roadrage has increased remarkably in Australia, with people wanting to go places faster. Ire at Telstra and its crappy internet is on a rise. I order things usually based on a cheapest/fastest ratio. Everything is about Express. I mean I even just joined a frequent flyer program. People now download TV shows and Movies because they want them now. The time between movie release in cinemas and DVD has shortened remarkably. It’s gotten rather crazy.

I’m off to get some food. NOW!
